Using this table lamp is a breeze. First, make sure to insert a 40W Type A, E26 B10 incandescent bulb into the lamp. Then, plug it into a power outlet. You can turn the lamp on and off using the binary toggle switch. If you want to adjust the light direction and height, simply move the adjustable shade to your preferred position. For charging your phone, place it on the wireless charging pad or connect it to the USB port in the base. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the metal frame and shade regularly to keep the matte black finish looking great. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the lamp. Also, always unplug the lamp before cleaning it to ensure your safety.
